Ok.. I just finished making brownies.. well.. they are still in the oven cooking, but if the brownies taste like the batter it's going to be a winner! This recipe comes from the Better Homes and Garden One-Pan recipes magazine. From back in the desserts sections. I know ShadowCat-X loves brownies and am bribing her with these! *giggle*
Ingredients:
14oz unsweetenned Chcolate (I used Ghiradelli, it says to use the expensive sort with cocoa butter)
1 1/2 cups Butter
1/2 cup water
2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cup brown sugar packed (I used Sugar in the raw)
4 eggs
2 tsp Vanilla
2 2/3 cups All Purpose Flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Set Aside
2. In a large saucepan, combine chocolate, butter and water. Cook and stir over low heat until chocolate is melted. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the chocolate mixture; beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed until combined. Add eggs and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add flour, salt, and cinnamon; beat on low speed until combined. Spread rthe batter in the prepared baking dish.
4. Bake about 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in a pan on a wire rack about 30 minutes or until brownies hold a cut edge. Cut into bars.
So, can we get a schedule of equivalencies? E.g., what will Shadowcat-X do for one of these brownies? What will she do for a dozen of these brownies, etc. etc.? ^_^ (If I need to bribe her at some future point, I don't want to over-pay.)
